This year MINA and the Goethe-Institut New Zealand collaborated on the
#Nucleus project (www.goethe.de/Nucleus). As a form of digital literacy,
storytelling and smartphone films can promote positive change and draw
attention to ecology and sustainability. Smartphone filmmaking in its third
generation is not only changing the industry inside and outside of the cinema,
but can also make a contribution to how we engage with the world. In times
of ‘Fridays for Futures’ demonstrations and Greta Thunberg symbolising
a generation keen to change the tone and topic on the conversation on
sustainability and ecology, the transmedia project engaged filmmakers and
anyone with a smartphone to create films on the theme of ecology. Smartphone

As a digital form of narrative, smartphone films can help change the way we think and also draw attention to the subject of ecology and sustainability. At the moment, smartphone films are
not just changing the film industry both on and off camera. They are also having an impact on the way in which we interact with our environment.
In this era of “Fridays for Future” demonstrations with Greta Thunberg as a symbol of a generation demanding the debate about sustainability and ecology be taken seriously, we challenged
filmmakers from Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand to send us their perspectives and contributions in the form of a 3-5 minute smartphone film.
Nearly 60 films were submitted and nine winners from Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and Vietnam were invited to a workshop in Wellington, where
they spent three days collaborating on a smartphone short film on ecotourism with music contributed by German musician Hanno Leichtmann.
The competition ended with a podium discussion and gala screening at the iconic Embassy Theatre, where “Lord of the Rings” had its world premiere. The evening was officially opened
by the German ambassador, Stefan Krawielicki. As well as the winning films, the collaborative film on ecotourism was also presented. The event was accompanied by a podium discussion
featuring experts on the subject Sarah Meade, Mark Williams, John Barrett, Ian Yeoman and Max Schleser and smartphone competition winners Tejas Ewing and Fauzhyana Sharifa.
To offset some of the carbon emissions of their air travel, we supported the nature conservation project “Ngā Uruora” on the Kapiti Coast. The filmmakers spent half a day creating a lizard
habitat out of driftwood in a nature reserve there and a short film was produced to document the process.

S. Botello Productions™ is one of the pioneer mobile film festivals and perhaps the first in the world to be exclusive to only to films shot with mobile phones
which screens films on a big screen and rolls out the red carpet in a venue in San Diego, California. Our film festival has only accepted films shot with only
mobile phones and began to form in 2009 launching an opportunity to every human being of any age in the world to share stories through film because
everyone in the world has access to a mobile phone camera. International Mobil Film Festival™ takes place annually in San Diego every last weekend of
April. #MFF2017SanDiego received over 260 submissions and screened over 40 films including a mobile feature film. Filmmakers who attended in San Diego
came from Canada, Australia, Chile and Germany. The ages of the filmmakers ranged from 11 years-old to 82 years-old. This year, we have two separate
competitions for short mobile films (1-5min.) and feature mobile films (40-80min.).
SBP launched the Global Mobile Film Awards™ as the Oscars of the mobile film industry. Our two founding members are SF3
SmartFone Flick Fest from Australia and Heartland Film Festival from Indiana. GMFA is for all film festivals who would like to
provide filmmakers who submit a film shot with mobile phones and win an official award a free nomination to GMFA and compete
to be the best of the best mobile film under separate categories. Member festivals reserve their right to nominate or not nominate
winning films. Individual mobile filmmakers may submit a film shot with a phone to be considered for a nomination which won an
official award in a non-member film festival for a fee.

Smart phones are constantly evolving, improving the image quality (currently up to

that were unthinkable until now.
The evolution of quality allows us to predict a long life for this festival,

The 140 acre Ningbo campus was opened to students in 2004 and was officially opened by John Prescott, the UK's Deputy Prime Minister, in February 2006. Like the Malaysia Campus, Ningbo Campus builds on the
attributes of University Park in the UK and includes a lake and its own version of Nottingham's famous Trent Building.
• The campus provides purpose-built facilities for nearly 8,000 students, including:
• on-site residential facilities for all students and staff
• restaurants and shops
• a dedicated sports complex
• state-of-the-art teaching, research and student services buildings
The new campus is situated on the Ningbo Higher Education Park, which also has excellent complementary facilities, including a new Municipal Library and Sports Stadium.
IMS has proposed “mobile experience” as a key concept for interdisciplinary investigation in different areas of mobile studies within the framework of “experience economy”. Besides its annual
Mobile Studies Summer School, IMS also organizes its annual International Mobile Storytelling Congress. Furthermore, IMS also hosts its Academia-Industry Summit Series (AISS), Research Talk
Series (RTS), and Mobile Studies Workshops (MSW) on a regular basis. On top of that, IMS has also initiated Mobile for SDG in Journalism (M4SDGJ) to enhance mobile reporting on sustainable
development goals.
The current key projects at IMS include (1) mapping, measuring, and modelling the mobile industries in UK, China, Malaysia, and beyond, (2) enhancing mobile experience in different areas of
human activities, (3) investigating the role and impact of mobile devices on the digital economy in One Belt and One Road Initiative countries, (4) mobile healthcare among third agers in China and
beyond, (5) the role and impact of mobile for sustainable development in underdeveloped and developing countries.
IMS welcomes professors and professionals of mobile media and communication from around the world to join us as research fellows or vising scholars to co-conduct research projects on any
topic related to mobile media and communication. Benefits for our research fellows include research visits to our institute, joint or solo research projects funded and/or hosted by IMS, discount
registration fees for attending IMSC, and chances to co-run IMSC, MSSS, M4SDGJ, AISS, RTS, and MSW.
To contribute to the global efforts to groom scholars of mobile studies, IMS is also recruiting more PhD students. For more information, please write to ims@nottingham.edu.cn
